The 3D-Coat team has been working it's way towards version 4.0 in huge ways and on October 1st the 4.0 beta has finally been released. In fact since then two additional beta updates have been released.

Quite easy. I did a tutorial on sculpting, retopo, and texturing an Uzi in June 2011's 3D World mag (issue 143). Much of it is done with booleans and slicing off bits to create a hard edge, but certainly there are plenty of other tools for flattening, pinching, etc. One thing that can help is brushing on decimation in spots where you don't need so many polys.

There will be videos when it's released I'm sure. I don't know if there re any
"feature videos " per se right now during the beta. However there are a lot of tutorial and other videos, many added recently on the official YouTube page as well as many free tutorial videos on the 3DC site and forum.

that's one reason i've decided against this app. the competition has yet to charge an upgrade fee. that alone is reason for anyone considering this to go with the competitor in my opinion as all the apps that i use have implemented GoZ...i realize your app has connezion or whatever but like the other statements made they offer more support and more tutorials. i really debated over the price difference and which one was best and after much thought i have decided against this app. it's kinda like what's goin on politically, you can try and talk it up, you know like salespeople do, but the work speaks for should speak for itself...by the way if your old enough please exercise your freedom to vote and vote. if you hate lines and are busy you can early vote starting sometime this month i think some states have already started and totally avoid any crowd...and again i hate to dog this software but i saw a video the other day where a guy domenstrated the difference in the sculpting tools in z and hex and i didn't even know hex has sculpting tools...lol and it is free from daz3d for now.

While I will agree yes, zb is offering free updates for now, I just want to be clear that 3DC offers free updates with new features almost on a bi-weekly basis with a pretty fair upgrade price every few years. I've been using 3DC since 2007 and still haven't paid anywhere near what zb costs. I'm no salesman, just a user and a fan. Just sharing with people who might be interested.
